Dear all,

I am trying to model a perforated screen using the command line interface. The manual doesn't mention anything about the perforated screen. I have already figured out that by setting the shade type to 6 in the XML file I can generate a perforated screen but I do not know what the correct xml attribute names are for each of its input parameters. Can anybody tell me what they are for perforated screen with square perforations?

I have tried using the names as they are displayed in the GUI (see below) but this doesn't work.

Kind regards,

Samuel

Some other things that I have tried already:

I see now that in the shading layer specification I accidentially wrote 'WovenShade'. I also tried changing this to 'PerforatedScreen' and 'Screen' but I wasn't succesfull with this either.
Looked into the Window Calc engine source code (from github) and looked up what the perforated screen input parameters are called there. I tried using these names for the xml attributes with no succes.
I suspect the xml attribute names that are expected by the command line version are described in a part of the source code that is not publically accessible.

I don't believe the command line supports modeling perforated screens.
